Free Fallin'

chapter two

Alana. pov

It had been one week before I had last seen Harry he had promised to come back and help me finally move that sofa out of the kitchen, he asked if he could bring someone along with him.

I didn't mind after all the extra help would be great! I finished my cup of tea and 2 slices of toast, went upstairs to get ready and when I came back down the stairs, BAM! "Oh My God!' I screamed, a boy around the same age as Harry had his face planted firmly on the glass window.

I still sit there looking at him and him looking at me, probably trying to hold back the laugher within him from my fall, Harry had appeared behind him and waved at me to open the door.

"hahaha, had a bit of a heart attack, Niall apologize!" Harry said after giving me a friendly hug, "Sorry" the boy named Niall had said, he had beautiful blue eyes and really light blonde hair.

"Nice to meet you, urm, Niall, right?" I said putting out my hand for him to firmly shake, "Yeah, sorry bout that" he replied with a foreign accent, obviously irish.

"Are we going to move this sofa?" Harry said looking into the kitchen, "Yeah sure lets do it!" I said and showed Niall where it was, "Wow! just how i wanted to spend my day, cleaning" Niall said and we all laughed.

We achieved everything we had to in the last 2 and a half hours, "Well, that was easy" Harry said,"Yeah sure it was" Niall said sitting down, "Hey, since i'm new here would you guys like to join me for Lunch?" I said with my eyebrows raise and a smile, "Sure why not, i know a lovely place just in town!" Said Harry and out the door we went.

We reached the mexican food restaurant and Harry opened the door for me, "thanks" I said happily and found a way to our new table.

"Mexican, yum haven't had it in ages!" I said as I gazed through the menu, "Any food is good for me!" Niall said as he had spotted something he liked on the menu and licked his lips, "Well are we ready to order?" Harry said as he saw a waitress come over and ask us the same thing.

"I'll have urm the nachos, with extra cheese and make sure the sauce isn't hot please" Niall smiled and handed her the menu for some reason as she looked up her eyes widened and she didn't know what to say, "I'm sorry for being rude and annoying but urm, you are, you are, can I have an autograph?" she smiled and handed them her ordering book, "Gee thanks! and what would you like Harry and urm Miss?".

I can't believe it, I thought, have I missed something here? As I looked to Harry he gave me a 'im-sorry' look. We finished ordering when our table fell silent and I looked at Harry and Niall in amazement and confusion, "Is there something your not telling me here?".

Harry. pov

Great.

I was hoping to keep this away from her, but I was stupid for not telling her when I first saw her who I really am, of course she was going to find out sooner or later.

"Let's Get out of here first" I agreed and she seemed calm, so we left the restaurant, "Well lads i've gotta go, nice meeting you Alana, oh before I go im havin' a party with the lads tomorrow night you are welcome to come if you like.

See ya Haz" Niall waved and departed with a wink.

"Where are we going Harry?" she asked as I grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the public, "I'm just getting us out of public so I can tell you privately" I said focused on moving out of this alley way.

We came to a short tunnel and then that opened up to a small court yard, it was beautiful this time of year.

"Wooh, this is amazing" She said, I then grabbed her hand leading her to a bench, "You like my little hide out then?" I said gazing deep into her eyes, "It's just, wait, what was that whole scene back at the restaurant, care to explain?" she said sitting up straight.

"Alana, when I saw you I thought someone new, someone who probably wouldn't know who I really am" I started to explain, "what do you mean, who you really are?" she looked up at me, "I thought you would of at lease noticed when you saw me" I said and she scratched her head, "Alana, I'm from One Direction" I said as I stood up and walked to the middle of the court yard covered in trees and fallen leaves.

"One Direction, you mean the boy band that came third in X-factor about 6 months ago?" She said and her eyes lit up as though to say 'why-haven't-I-noticed-before-?', "Yeah, I got back from doing the X-factor tour about 3 weeks ago."

"I'm sorry, i've heard about you but I never really seen your faces before" She walked up towards me, "It's alright I don't take any offense and it's actually a plus because you won't scream in our faces!" She put her head in her hands and shook her head laughing, "Well, you wouldn't want to meet the girl thats moving in with me, I remember her texting me about you guys once" Alana stood there her hands in her pockets.

"Wanna see something?" I asked she nodded and I gripped her soft hands and lead her into a bush, which soon lead to my little, well, lets call it a 'Tree House', "So this is your hide away? Why do you need it?" she asked and looked around  the small house i had created. 

"I made this a few years ago with some of my school mates, we used to escape here no matter what, when things got ruff, parties and now i'm the only one that uses it.

I use it to read a book or to think if im too bottled up." I smiled and pushed her a chair to sit on, "whats this?" She said holding up my scrapbook, "Oh, thats my scrapbook, you know the one I told you about, It has all the pictures in it of me and the Lads in X-factor and the tour!".

She opened the book and worked her way through, she stopped on the page that was the picture of herself under the tree, "I thought you said you took many pictures of beautiful girls?" She smiled widely slightly blushing, "Oh no I do see!" I flipped the page to a picture of Louis in a long black haired wig we both laughed and sat and talked for a while.

"So about Nialls get together tomorrow night, would you like me to pick you up and take you?" I grinned showing my teeth, "Oh yeah forgot about that, he's a nice lad yeah that would be great.

Speaking of which it's getting late I better go!" She got up rather slowly and flattened out her shirt, "You don't have to go home, my mum is cooking dinner tonight, would you like to come over?" I asked and stopped her before she could leave.

"Are you sure, I mean would your mother mind?" she said looking at anything else besides me, "Im sure, actually It would be fun" I said opening the tree house door and helping her out, "Great which way is your house?" she said looking both ways, "This way." I grabbed her hand and lead her in the right direction.
